Question

read the passage.
i am a father who is helping his daughter pay off her student loan of $50,000. that is a lot of money; however, it is a drop in the student - loan bucket that currently holds over $1 trillion of student debt. in fact, 44 million americans currently owe money on their student loans—a major problem. without a solution, young adults entering the workforce will do so knowing that their paychecks will be significantly less due to the need to repay their student loans. the government must work to change this.

□ the writer uses empirical evidence by including specific data about student debt and loans.
□ the writer uses empirical evidence by referring to the amount of money that his daughter and her friends owe in student debt.
□ the writer uses logical evidence by claiming that his daughter owes a significant amount of money.
